emacs compile error

이상봉_2 — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 23:27:18 GMT

Dear all HP guys

My system is below

HP-UX rx6600 B.11.31 U ia64 (tb)

and I try to compile emacs-21.4a

rx6600:/home/purify/emacs-21.4]./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... ia64-hp-hpux11.31
configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `ia64-hp-hpux11.31' systems.
Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.

Maybe this error indicates that this version
of emacs can not support hp11.31.
So I saw /etc/MACHINES file. But I could not
know What to do for compiling it properly,.

Could you let me know how to fix it?

Hello,

as you can read:
error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `ia64-hp-hpux11.31' systems.

what's the problem with this error messages?

maybe you can play with the swinstall options (osname and osrelease) but:
- i'm not sure that will work
- it can left your system unstable
- it's not supported

the best will be to compile emacs by sources.

HP-UX 11i V3 (aka 11.31) is a new release. I think your
only issue is that emacs's configure/build scripts
have not been updated to include 11.31. The
configure scripts look at the hardware arch, os name and version
to construct that string (ia64-hp-hpux11.31) and the 11.31 is
what's throwing things off. You should be able to
get it to build on 11.31 by duplicating the 11.11 and 11.23
items in the build scripts.

A simpler approach.....
The pre-compiled version of emacs run just fine on 11.31. For
example, Internet Express
(http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1123)
includes emacs. The Porting and Achive center
also has emacs: http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Editors/emacs-21.4/
